The Walking Dead and Win8

I have noticed that people are having problems with the walking dead and xbox controllers under win8, Well i just upgraded to Win8 64bit from windows 7 where all of my games worked fine, through steam. Since i have upgraded to win8 The Walking dead does not even load, i am not using a xbox controller just the mouse and keyboard and it is not working, does not even load. Please help, i love this game. I have back to the future, Jurassic Park, Monkey Island and others but have not tried them. I will worry about them after I get walking dead working.. Please Help

dxdiag
Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.
Windows 8: At the start screen, type in "dxdiag" and hit enter

Now click on the button that says "save all information".
It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.

Open the file and press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C to copy the contents, and paste them in a reply by pressing CTRL-V.

It seems that I have the same problem as Semprum. Since I upgraded to Windows 8, it's not possible to launch the Walking Dead with Steam anymore... I tried everything, reinstall the game like 6 times, execute it in administrator, run in compatibility mode with Windows xp sp3 and Windows 7. Reinstall DirectX, and even reinstall all my steam.
The steam is not helping me...

Sorry there's my "dxdiag" and i apologize if it's in French, you can contact me by my email if there's a translation problem !

Thank you very much, i just want to play my last episode of walking dead ^^

[Edit] I delete my DxDiag for more lisibility, if you want it back, please ask me

...i presume that it's again and always because of Steam
Can I plug it during my playing session ?

No and Nope

*edit* If you search around the forum you will find some directions for downloading a very specific version of a directx file which will enable you to play with the xbox 360 controller. I had forgotten about that when I replied as I'm waiting for an official fix

Sorry for the delay in response, I have copied the dxdiag as requested.. again thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

I was able to fix it, thanks for your help though..! I did have a Logitech joystick plugged in and I guess that causes the same issues as the xbox controller, I am not sure why I did not think about it before when I was reading these posts because a joystick and gamepad are virtually the same thing.. as soon as I unplugged it worked perfectly.. :-) again thanks for your help..
